KARIMNAGAR, DEC. 23. The Karimnagar district police on Thursday unearthed six landmines planted by suspected CPI (Maoists) group naxalites underneath a culvert on the Nagaram-Kundanapalli village road in Jammikunta mandal bordering Warangal district.

The Superintendent of Police, Rajiv Ratan, said that on a tip-off, a special police party was asked to conduct checking of roads.
